Battery Valley Farm

This was the perfect place to stay on the Somme Battlefields. I was sorry we only stayed one night. Beautiful location on a working dairy farm in the countryside. Mirelle really went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and gave great tips for the area. The breakfast she served was one of the best we had in France. Covered, heated swimming pool looked very nice although was too tired to try it out. Would be great place for families. We stayed in separate chalet which was very comfortable & cozy. Friend stayed in room upstairs that was also excellent. Would definitely stay here on next trip back to area.

Mireille & Frédéric are friendly & welcoming hosts offering clean & comfortable accommodation, good quality fresh & plentiful breakfast and are ideally located for visiting battlefields of the Somme memorials. We stayed stayed for 2 nights in the Chalet which was self contained private accommodation to the side of the main house. There was a kitchenette, dining table & chairs, wardrobe, comfortable double bed, another area with a sofa & desk and a small but very functional en-suite shower room. Did not use the cooking facilities as were out all day visiting the sites and ate out in the evening (note. The Poppy restaurant offers a very good value set menu with a drink and is only a short drive away) but did make use of the large fridge to keep our water cold and chill some beers for when we got back later in the evening. All the tv channels are French speaking only but if you find a film or programme that originally had an English soundtrack you can change this back to the original using the remote (can't remember exactly how I done it but it was a good find - otherwise if really need to watch tv in English then download things before you go). We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast laid out for us by Mireille in the main house on both mornings. There was plenty of choice - juice, homemade yogurt, cereals, croissant, jam, honey, bread, cheese, ham & scrambled eggs. Also on the second morning we were kindly treated to a very tasty homemade quiche and homemade cake as well. Other facilities were secure gated parking, free WIFI and a covered outdoor swimming pool. We did not have time to use the pool but it looked very nice. The thing that makes this b&b exceptional though is the genuine warmth and kindness of the hosts. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area and recommend it highly to others.
